Contribution of rsaC, a small non-coding RNA, towards the pathogenicity of Staphylococcus aureus in a mouse systemic infection model

S. Panthee, H. Hamamoto, A. Paudel, S. Ohgi, K. Sekimizu

This study identifies rsaC, a small non-coding RNA in Staphylococcus aureus, as a virulence factor essential for pathogenicity in a mouse model and its expression is influenced by oxygen and host stress.
